tention and continued on, Amanda'pass-

pulled up lame and was withdrawn.
The race had to be run over again be-

would win, but Twinkle held his own,
and just managed to pass under the wire

This was looked upon as the race of
the day. Queen Kapiolani was very
FESTIVE at the post, and once galloped to
the half-mile pole before she could be
pulled up She jumped all over the
track, and her jockey had hard work to
keep his seat. He dismounted once and
she was walked around for a few min
utes This had no effect, for no sooner
had Leonard mounted than the Queen
began her antics again, and at last fell,
the jockey escaping injury. The mare
had little skin grazed off her leg. AT
last they went away to very poor
start, Hancock having a good lead,
Queen Kapiolani second and Patrol
third. This order was maintained to
the quarter pole, where the Queen
caught up little. Hancock, however,
never left the race in doubt, and event
ually won by four lengths. Patrol came
with a rush in the last hundred yards,
and was only just beaten for second
place. Time, :161a, which is the fast
est time ever made in the Islands at the
distance.
The fifth race, Breeders plate, was
declared void.
